Method
- Wash the beetroots and carrots under cold running water, scrubbing with a scrubber to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them).
- Pick off and discard the wispy ends from the beetroots.
- Hold a box grater steady on a chopping board, then gripping the root end, coarsely grate the carrots, stopping before your fingers or knuckles get too close to the grater. Place the grated carrots into a large bowl.
- Coarsely grate or finely slice the cabbage, then discard the core and add to the bowl.
- Remove the stalk from the pear, coarsely grate (core and all), then place it into the bowl.
- Finally, hold the root end of the beetroots and coarsely grate (you may want to wear rubber gloves for this), then add to the bowl.
- Pick the mint and parsley leaves, then discard the stalks. Tear or finely chop the leaves on a board and add to the bowl.
- Add all the dressing ingredients to a jam jar.
- Put the lid securely on the jar and shake well.
- Have a taste and see whether you think it needs a bit more yoghurt, vinegar or oil – you want it to be slightly too acidic, so that it’s still nice and zingy once you’ve dressed your rainbow salad.
- Drizzle most of the dressing over the salad – just remember you can always add more but you can’t take it away, so be cautious.
- Divide the salad between the tortilla wraps, then crumble a little feta over each.
- Roll up the wraps, tucking them in at the sides as you go, then serve.
Tips
This is a great recipe to make with kids, but remember that box graters are very sharp so need to be used carefully. Show kids how to hold hard fruit and vegetables with a firm grip and use nice big chunks so that their hands are safely out of the way.
